V. — From The Wellington Field Naturalists' Club, through 

 Mr. L. Caesar. 



On behalf of the Wellington Field Naturalists' Club, I have the 

 honour to present the following report: 



The Wellington Field Naturalists' Club was founded at Guelph in 

 March, 1900. Its object is to encourage biological research by its 

 members and others. The club's year begins in October, so that the 

 Ontario Agricultural College students niay become members and take 

 advantage of all the meetings. 



During the year 1906-07 the society was united with the Ento- 

 mological Society of Ontario. This union led to the introducing of 

 too many technical papers. We considered that a field naturalists' 

 meeting should be a stimulus, especially to the young members, and 

 that the papers should deal with purely popular biological matters. 

 To make such papers possible we again became a separate club, and 

 during the present year have been holding fortnightly meetings. A 

 full report of each meeting has been sent to each of the city papers. 

 All the meetings were open to the public, and many instructive papers 

 were read that will help us to " see things " during the coming summer. 



Some of the papers read and discussed during the winter were: — 



l._" The Grey Squirrel,"' by Prof. II. L. Hutt. 



2. — « A Vacation in Bruce Peninsula,'' by Prof. S. B. McCready. 



3. — " The Turtles of Niagara I'oninsula," by A. J. Painter. 



4._" Field Mice," by G. M. Frier and Fred. Bond. 



5.—" A Trip in New Ontario/' by T. J. Moore. 



6. — " Alien Plants in this Locality," by J. W. Eastham. 



7. — "The Genus Solidago in Wellington County," by J. E. Howitt. 



8.—" Pitcher Plants," by J. W. Eastham. 



9._« Sundews," by G. M. Frier.
